That's not expected. Weird on a new system, but maybe is just that I have
Brew installed.

That is the result of not founding pkg-config previously

That's a workaround. Or you could try using --with-idobc=<directory>
instead.

In configure.ac:

        # The user asked for iodbc support, but didn't tell us
        # where to look. So, we'll try to get the info from
        # pkg-config. If we can't, we'll display an error.
        PKG_CHECK_MODULES(IODBC, libiodbc)

so the configure it's behaving as expected (although it could try a bit
harder).

I'll check my MacOS to see where pkg-config is and where the include files
are.
